108)Tatsuoka Castle(Nagano, Japan)One of Japan’s two star-shaped fortresses, Goryokaku
It is located in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture.
Tatsuoka Castle is a Western-style castle with a star-shaped fortress, one of only two in Japan, along with Hakodate Goryokaku.
At the end of the Edo period, the lord of the Tanoguchi domain, Matsudaira Norikata, began construction in 1864 as the new jinya for the Tanoguchi domain, and it was completed in 1867.
The area is about one-quarter the size of Hakodate Goryokaku.
The site of the castle was used as an elementary school, but it will close at the end of 2022 and can now be visited from the inside.
This is a video of a 48-year-old bachelor who silently visited the castle by himself.
I am posting a visit record of historical remains such as castle ruins that I visited as I thought, based on the belief that I do not flock and do not flirt.
